Photosynthesis research: advances through molecular biology - the beginnings, 1975-1980s and on...
Article in Photosynthesis research, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Restriction endonuclease recognition sites and genes for rRNAs were first mapped on chloroplast chromosomes in 1975-1976. This marked the beginning of the application of molecular biology tools to photosynthesis research. In the first phase, knowledge about proteins involved in photosynthesis was used to identify plastid and nuclear genes encoding these proteins on cloned segments of DNA. Soon afterwards the DNA sequences of the cloned genes revealed the full primary sequences of the proteins. Knowledge of the primary amino acid sequences provided deeper understanding of the functioning of the protein and interactions among proteins of the photosynthetic apparatus. Later, as chloroplast DNA sequencing proceeded, genes were discovered that encoded proteins that had not been known to be part of the photosynthetic apparatus. This more complete knowledge of the composition of reaction centers and of the primary amino acid sequences of individual proteins comprising the reaction centers opened the way to determining the three-dimensional structures of reaction centers. At present, the availability of cloned genes, knowledge of the gene sequences and systems developed to genetically manipulate photosynthetic organisms is permitting experimental inquiries to be made into crucial details of the photosynthetic process.
